That’s fantastic!
I’m not complaining
That’s gotta be some kind of a PR, too—right?
Hey now, for all the complaining I do…okay, yeah, it’s a lot.
Good.
Off day yesterday, but my body feels like it got in a car wreck. So I let off the gas a little bit, mostly out of necessity. Last week’s pressing was a debacle, this was just slightly better.

Squats today, but I am not feeling very recovered. Could already tell at the 140 warmup that I was going to have to take it easy. Pullups getting better, OTOH.

Deadlifts today. Last week’s session ruined me for the whole week, so took it pretty easy today with just a heavy-ish single. Held it for a count of 10, a transparent display of dominance.

Shoulders yesterday. Might have been 7 on the topset, but I somehow lost track. Anyway, I was using too much knee action to be happy with it, so let’s just call it 6 and leave it at that.

Today was just some extra pulling. Did some actual bent-over rows in a variation I have never really tried before. Basically like an RDL where you put a little english into it and row it up. Didn’t hate it, not sure if it actually does anything for me.

Just messing around today, didn’t feel like doing proper pressing.
Which does not at all explain what follows, I absolutely launched 120. I then just missed 125, but I felt like I could have had that if I hadn’t just expended the energy on the PR. Best part, the gym was absolutely packed.
Gonna tag @simo74 to ask “how much do you think I could manage on the log?” But really also just to flex on him a little.

Any day there’s a press PR is a good day. Congrats!
This is a hard one to answer, for most people their max log is a little under their overhead press. It also depends if you are cleaning the log too. I would imagine with practice you should get over 100 pretty easily. only way to know is to find a gym with a log and give it a go.
Yeah. Alright.
Third week in a row where squats were not good. At the end I was doing jump squats, and these were also not good. I am pretty sure I know what is going on here, just not sure yet what I will change around, if anything.
